I have a start time and end time in my smartsheet but need to calculate hours worked. Has anyone used a formula before to do this? if so can you pass along?
so I figured out the issue, I was missing a bracket. I have also condensed the formula down since I do not need start and end dates.
No I need to figure out how to set that formula to be used in every cell for that column by default. I tried using a Managed Workflow.
But when it is added, I get this result:
Notice the punctuation mark at the beginning, this gets added by the system so the text is not treated as a formula.
Hi @MSGFreebird
I hope you're well and safe!
Unfortunately, you can't use the change cell value action to add formulas.
You could convert the formula to a Column Formula so it's automatically added to all rows.
Did that work/help?
I hope that helps!
Be safe, and have a fantastic week!

Please submit this as a Product Feedback or Idea (If it hasn't been added already) when you have a moment.

I was able to get the formula to work but it doesn't seem to be calculating correct. Can you please review and let me know what i'm doing wrong. After looking at numbers all day i'm sure i'm overlooking something simple.
Hi All, I have a project plan with a column called "Owner" that has a column type of contact list. The contacts are from multiple companies. It's a large project plan. I have created columns that have a column type of checkbox. I want to check the box if the owner is from a certain company (which can be determined by the…
Hello, I am trying to use JOIN-COLLECT to populate a cell with a contact by pulling from another sheet. However, when I use this formula it populates the cell with the name of the contact as a text string, but does not populate the cell with the contact itself. Both the column of cells being populated and the column the…
Hello Community, I need to create a report that shows capacity by month. My sheet tracks resource allocation on projects with resource start and end dates. (We can't afford the Resource Management module so we're doing it in Core SS). I've been asked to do a "heat map" of sorts where each column is a month. For each row…
